Enjoying a Cocktail with my Mr.

I'm in love. Like really, totally, majorly in love, love, love with this pair of highballs. I spotted them over at the Mrs Shoppe of curated lovelies and think they would be the perfect addition to our future bar cart. 

along with the prettiest bottles of vodka I ever did see. Is it weird that I'm willing to abandon good old Belvedere for a cuter, more stylish version? I am also the girl that chooses her wine based on bottle design so no, if you know me... it's not that weird

Hot Toddy Time

This past week my favorite people in the whole world, a.k.a. the Fam, came to visit and we traipsed all over Boston eating and drinking and taking in the sites. This is such a GORGEOUS time to be in New England. I just can't seem to get enough of the pretty leaves, bundling up in all of my coats and scarves that I never ever got to wear in San Diego, eating (or slurping) TONS of soup... but my absolute favorite part has got to be the Hot Toddies. Hello yummy goodness! How did I not know about this delightful treat before? It is so warm and cozy and is perfect, perfect for those crisp Fall evenings.

We put a little twist on the traditional Hot Toddy and incorporated Apple Cider. You really can't go wrong with these puppies:

Hot Apple Toddy
honey
2oz whiskey (my husband swears by Jameson)

1 tsp sugar

hot apple cider

cinnamon stick, cloves, apple slice for garnish

1. Coat the bottom of an Irish coffee glass with honey

2. Add whiskey

3. Fill with hot apple cider and stir well

4. Garnish with cinnamon stick, cloves and apple slice

5. sip and repeat to your little heart's content
